Foreword
The importance of creating a responsible, sustainable approach to mineral development has never been clearer, as projects face mounting opposition from Conga in Peru to Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia. While the role of mining in economic development is increasingly recognized, debate continues on how mining should be done, and a festering discontent shows the general lack of trust between stakeholders. With this backdrop, the World Economic Forum introduces this third milestone report as part of its Responsible Mineral Development Initiative (RMDI). In its first phase in 2010, the RMDI identified the key challenges facing responsible mineral development. Building on this, the Initiatives work in 2011 led to the identification of six building blocks that provide a constructive framework for the sector. The RMDI continues to provide a neutral, truly multistakeholder platform for the discussion and development of ideas capable of unlocking the potential socio-economic benefits of mining. During 2012, the RMDI focused on Mineral Value Management (MVM), a tool it has developed for enhancing understanding of the drivers of value in mining. This Report lays out the foundation of Mineral Value Management. It outlines the insights gleaned from a global survey and workshops on using the tool with over 300 stakeholders across four continents. The Forum hopes that this tool and the findings of this Report can trigger frank and open discussion on the issues that affect, unite and divide different stakeholders in the mining industry. The creation of this Report also involved extensive outreach and dialogue with members of the private sector, governments, the academic community, NGOs and multilateral organizations from around the world. The Forum is extremely grateful to the many stakeholders whose invaluable input and support for this global initiative made this report possible. In particular, the Forum would like to thank: The RMDI Advisory Group: Britt Banks (University of Colorado), Roland Haslehner (The Boston Consulting Group), Arlin Hackman (WWF - Canada), Gavin Hayman (Global Witness), Huguette Labelle (Transparency International), Kathryn McPhail and Kate Carmichael (International Council on Mining and Metals), Richard OBrien (Newmont Mining Corporation), Antonio A.M.

Executive Summary
Mining is a key driver of global economic growth, capable of creating long-term positive impact on lives, societies and nations. Although it has the potential to transform the economic prospects of mineral-rich developing countries, governments and communities are increasingly questioning the role of this sector. Debates over the proper allocation of costs and benefits, growing resource nationalism and conflict over new projects reflect waning trust between stakeholders and lack of effective engagement mechanisms. This makes the World Economic Forums Responsible Mineral Development Initiative (RMDI) more relevant than ever. The RMDI was established in 2010 to develop a better understanding of the challenges and complexities involved in making mineral development responsible and sustainable, and to identify and pilot potential solutions to address these. Phase I involved worldwide consultation and analysis to identify the key challenges. Phase II, started in 2011, aimed to develop practical responses to these challenges. While no silver bullet solution was identified, six building blocks for progress were laid out. Phase III the subject of this report focused on two of the building blocks: a shared understanding of the benefits and costs of mineral development, and collaborative processes for stakeholder engagement, focusing on designing a multistakeholder approach to develop a better understanding of different groups needs, expectations and priorities. This is important because disputes are more likely when stakeholders are poorly informed about each others perceptions and aspirations in relation to the costs and benefits of mining.
From the findings, the need for establishing trust and collaboration between various stakeholders becomes clear. Open, constructive and ongoing dialogue is important to allow discussion on the issues outlined above. To be effective, this dialogue must: Address stakeholders initial perceptions and expectations, in addition to using studies focused on data-based findings Focus on creating a better understanding of stakeholder groups and their drivers of value Identify areas where stakeholder priorities align and differ Invest in educating all stakeholders including companies, governments, communities and civil society about the nature, sources and timing of benefits, costs and risks of mining Explore ways to increase collaboration within and between stakeholder groups
The RMDI was established to identify and provide guidance on the key challenges around responsible mining development. Phase I in 2010 included interviews with more than 250 stakeholders from 13 countries on their perceptions of these challenges. The objective was to understand what works and what does not, where discontent and frustration commonly arise, and where improvements are possible. The main problems were identified as: Limited expertise and institutional capacity of governments, civil society and companies Insufficient stakeholder inclusion in decision-making processes Opaque negotiation and development processes Incomplete compliance, monitoring and dispute-resolution components Phase II in 2011 developed a deeper understanding of the challenges and identified constructive, practical responses to them. Workshops in six continents underpinned further research and consultation. This phase showed that no single silver bullet solution to the challenges exists. Instead, six building blocks were identified that address common challenges and provide guidance on practical actions to take (see Exhibit 1). Each building block was supported by practical examples of good practice such as Alcoas creation of a local development council in Brazil; Rio Tintos publication of its tax and royalty payments in 28 countries; and Mongolias national dialogue platform. A survey found across-theboard support for the building blocks, with particular enthusiasm for training and development, collaborative socio-economic studies and the establishment of effective dialogue platforms.1 While work in Phase III was intended to support stable, sustainable and responsible mining, events in 2012 gave it immediate as well as long-term relevance, as discussed in the following chapter.
1 Progressive capacity-building and knowledgesharing 6 Early and comprehensive dispute management 2 A shared understanding of costs and benets
Thorough compliance monitoring and enforcement of commitments 4 Transparent processes and arrangements
However, to be an effective platform for practical change, dialogue must be informed by an understanding of how the mining industry creates value. It must also recognize that the spin-offs go beyond the merely monetary and can take the form of costs as well as benefits. Consultation in all three RMDI phases has shown the absence of this understanding as a serious stumbling block. It leads to distrust based on the view that other stakeholders are garnering more than their fair share of benefits. The RMDI has identified four main stumbling blocks to understanding: Debates are focused on specific or easily quantifiable dimensions. Many debates, like that over Australias Minerals Resource Rent Tax, are focused on the structure of taxation and royalty regimes, and the amount paid. They largely ignore other drivers of value, especially those difficult to quantify. A mismatch between expectations and reality exists. Stakeholders often dont understand how long a project will take to develop and the different levels of activity required at each stage. This leads to unrealistic expectations regarding timing and benefits. One mining executive complained of expectations of turning something into the Pilbara overnight, but companies are not even past the viability stage.3
The right stakeholders have not been consulted, and/or their objectives have been misunderstood. Local communities are often ignored and/or the right people are not consulted, which means their real concerns and objectives are misunderstood. Also, where miners discussions with government are limited to mining ministries as is often the case opportunities to contribute beyond direct taxes and employment may not be explored. Value is presumed to be a zero-sum game. While some trade-offs between groups are likely to be necessary, debate often focuses on these at the expense of opportunities to create mutual value. As a culmination of its work, Phase III of the RMDI developed the Mineral Value Management tool to improve understanding of stakeholder expectations and objectives in relation to value.

3. Environment and biodiversity implications If not managed properly mining can have adverse effects on the environment and biodiversity in host regions, and employment dependent on living resources. Implementation of measures to prevent, mitigate and offset impacts across the entire life cycle of a mine from exploration to post-mine rehabilitation can help minimize these effects. In many cases, the positive economic benefits of mining can also help to relieve pressure on biodiversity and the environment by reducing the amount of destructive deforestation and poaching activities. Some companies have committed to a goal of a net positive impact on biodiversity,7 recognizing that this can drive value by helping them obtain a social license to operate while helping build a positive reputation. 4. Social cohesion, cultural and socioeconomic implications Host communities can bear a disproportionate share of negative impacts from mining, such as migrant labour and population displacement, destruction of local heritage and lack of economic opportunities after the mines closure. However, benefits can include improvements to local services and social infrastructure (health, education, housing), as well as the creation of non-mining businesses which can help industrialize the local economy. Investing in the community and providing accessible and fair mechanisms to address concerns and grievances can help mining companies obtain a social license to operate and avoid conflicts and disruptions to operations.
5. Procurement and local supply chain Mining generates large procurement and supply expenditure on goods and services as varied as catering, construction and accountancy. An efficient and reliable supply chain is vital for the profitability of a mining project. Establishing a local supply industry can also result in the creation of lateral industries leading to diversification benefits for a country. 6. Beneficiation and downstream industry The processing and refining of raw materials and the manufacture of endproducts can generate benefits for a country. Downstream industries may also result in lateral industries leading to similar diversification benefits as procurement. However, many companies do not participate in downstream processing activities, and for those that do, some structural factors may make downstream processing in a particular country unattractive or uneconomical. 7. Infrastructure Infrastructure such as road, rail and power can account for up to 80% of mining development costs,8 and the quality and efficiency of this infrastructure impacts the overall profitability of the sector. If properly planned, this infrastructure may also be used by other industries and/or by the public, creating a positive multiplier impact. It should be noted that since MVM focuses on drivers of value and is not a measure of total value, it does not explicitly include some areas of the economy which benefit significantly from mining, particularly exports and foreign direct investment, which are major beneficiaries in many mineral-rich countries.

Enabling
Phase III of the RMDI used MVM to conduct a global survey and guide discussions in four multistakeholder workshops. The survey covered around 300 stakeholders from 37 countries. They were polled either through the workshops or electronically. Respondents were asked for their views on the value being created by mining in their own countries relative to other countries today, and on where they thought their countries would be in 10 years time. They were also asked to nominate which of the seven dimensions of value they saw as priorities for their countries (Refer to Appendix for further details). Respondents were divided roughly equally between governments, commodity producers and others (NGOs, academics, international agencies and local communities). Due to limited-scale polling conducted in this phase, local communities were underrepresented in the others category. This is an acknowledged weakness of the survey, as the views of this stakeholder group are vital in creating a shared understanding of value. This weakness should be addressed with additional polling in country-specific or regional surveys using MVM.
Overall, the survey and workshop discussions showed that: Different stakeholder groups and countries are starting out with different perceptions and aspirations regarding mining. There is general consensus on the most important dimensions of value. What drives value for stakeholders and countries within each dimension is different. Beyond the top few dimensions, stakeholders and regions differ in their assessment of which ones should be accorded greater priority. Areas with potential to deliver benefits for all stakeholders exist, but require a coordinated approach.
It should be noted that because the survey tested stakeholders perception of value relative to the performance of other countries, the survey scores were all positive. This does not mean mining always creates a net benefit across all dimensions. As discussed in the previous section, if not managed carefully, mining can have a detrimental impact in some areas, particularly in the environment, biodiversity, social cohesion, cultural and socio-economic dimensions.

Exhibit 5 shows that African governments are generally less positive than other stakeholders about current value creation, but significantly more positive about the future (i.e. have higher aspirations). African commodity producers generally think more value is being created today, but perceive that future growth will not be as high, especially in the dimensions of Procurement and Supply Chain and Downstream and Beneficiation. (See Appendix 2 for further results by region and stakeholder.)
This shows that stakeholders are starting with different points of view and have different hopes and aspirations. A platform for open, transparent dialogue about these differences is a necessary starting point for building trust and lasting partnerships. This platform should be supported by both databased studies and a clear understanding of stakeholder expectations and perceptions. Exhibit 6 also shows that expectations vary depending on a countrys stage of economic development. The exhibit is based on categorization used by the World Economic Forums Global Competitiveness Index (GCI), which divides countries between factor-driven, efficiency-driven and innovation-driven economies.
In line with economic theory of the stages of development, the GCI assumes that factor-driven economies mainly compete on the basis of their factor endowments, primarily low-skilled labour and natural resources. Efficiency-driven economies need to develop more efficient production processes and compete on factors such as a more skilled workforce and an efficient and well-functioning labour and goods market so that productivity can keep up with rising wages. Innovation-driven economies have higher general wages and associated standards of living, and need to produce new technologies and more sophisticated production processes or business models in order to keep productivity at a high level.9

This makes it unsurprising that stakeholders in factor-driven countries have higher expectations of the future benefits from mining, since resources are likely to be a major driver of their economic growth in the short to medium term. However, consultation during Phase III of RMDI also highlighted how important it is that all stakeholders, particularly from factor-driven countries, develop an understanding of the time frame for and the likely sources of future value creation. Governments and other stakeholders must

think beyond fiscal, legal and regulatory issues to consider all dimensions, and then focus on those likely to yield benefits. This should be based, in part, on a clear understanding of which structural and enabling factors are likely to have the most positive effects. Comparing performance with other countries at a similar stage of economic development can assist in identifying the largest areas of opportunity. Using the GCI is one way this can be done.
The MVM tool will also be used in multistakeholder roundtables to conduct benchmarking to enable comparison of country performance, as outlined in the Appendix.

The fiscal, legal and regulatory dimension was the highest priority for every stakeholder group in every region. This is not surprising given its importance for all stakeholders and prominent profile in recent years, with many governments proposing changes to taxation and royalty regimes as well as ownership structures, and populations in some countries becoming more aware of the perceived corruption and lack of transparency associated with mining revenues. Socio-economic, social cohesion and cultural implications were given the third highest priority by all respondents. Some countries rated this dimension as particularly important for example, 64% of the 28 respondents from Peru rated it among the top two. This result reflects growing recognition that attention to social and cultural issues is vital to the future of a sustainable and responsible resource development industry. With 37% of commodity producers rating it among the two leading priorities, it is clear that they see performance in relation to these issues as a driver of shareholder value. After all, to downplay or ignore these factors increases the risk of project delays, disputes and disruption of operations. Unsurprisingly, employment also ranked high it ranked as the second highest priority in innovation-driven countries and third highest for factor-driven and efficiency-driven countries. Infrastructure ranked second for factor-driven countries, showing once again that priorities vary depending on a countrys stage of economic development.
Across countries and stakeholder groups, procurement and supply was the dimension least often rated among the top two priorities. Yet there is compelling evidence that an effective procurement and supply industry can generate value for all stakeholders. Countries like Chile and South Africa have used upstream or supply activity to stimulate the development of globally competitive companies and to increase economic linkages (see sidebar).
Upstream or Downstream?
Policy-makers have historically favoured downstream development, seeing it as offering greater potential for diversification and more likely to result in significant employment growth. Mining has typically been seen as an enclave industry, with less likelihood of technology spillovers that could drive growth in other industries. Consequently, support for upstream or supplier activities has often been limited to policies that mandate minimum levels of local supply. However, new studies such as Making the Most of the Commodities Programme by the Open University and the University of Cape Town suggest upstream activities generate attractive diversification and employment growth opportunities. Suppliers have the advantage of being close to customers, whereas downstream user markets are often distant. Intermediate products and services can offer opportunities to countries with varying capabilities, in sectors ranging from the relatively low-skilled such as catering and security to the highly sophisticated equipment manufacturing. In addition, mining companies increasingly outsource non-core activities, thereby expanding the total supplier market.12

This does not mean different groups are completely misaligned and discussions must be all about tradeoffs. It does, however, highlight the need to build a better understanding of stakeholders circumstances, needs and objectives. This is particularly the case with local communities, where mining companies are increasingly aware that creating value is about more than financial costs and benefits. For 63% of the commodity producers polled, understanding the social and economic make-up of different groups was a top-three enabling factor and a further 75% ranked consultation and collaboration with affected communities similarly. In contrast, only 16% put level of social spending by mining companies in the top three. More and more mining companies are seeking to develop insight into the beliefs, traditions and cultures of local communities or, as one mining executive put it, finding ways to understand their stories.13 To be successful in this, miners need expertise in areas such as anthropology and sociology, which are very different skill-sets from those they have traditionally employed. They also need to understand the complexity and heterogeneity of local communities affected by mining development.
13
IV. Beyond the top few dimensions, stakeholders and regions differ in their assessment of which dimensions of value should be accorded greater priority
Governments and commodity producers differ sharply in their views on the importance of downstream activities for value creation. For example, while more than a quarter of government respondents in Africa selected this as a top-two priority, fewer than one in 20 commodity producers agreed.
While this is not surprising not all mining companies engage in downstream activities it highlights yet another area where frank, constructive dialogue based on mutual understanding would be valuable. Governments in particular need to understand if downstream activities are likely to create value for them. Understanding the structural factors that can determine this is very important, as the sidebar on Malaysias rubber industry shows. In other areas, differences depend on geographies. In Latin America, 34% of commodity producers rated infrastructure
in the top two, compared with 19% of government stakeholders and 20% of others. However, in North America, Australia and Europe, 29% of government stakeholders and 20% of others considered it a top-two priority, while fewer than one in 10 commodity producers agreed. The lesson is that multinational mining companies cannot assume that what has worked in one country will work in another, but must take time to understand local stakeholder expectations. They also need to make their own priorities clear, because these might not be the same as those of the host governments or communities.

Increasing awareness of HIV and other global health campaigns led to 12% annual growth in demand for latex medical equipment from 1989 to 2011.15 In addition to understanding the industry cost structure and the long-term attractiveness of the market, countries need to take
into account several other factors when analysing their ability to compete in particular downstream activities. These include: the size and attractiveness of the domestic market, non-tariff barriers to trade, transportation costs to the main export markets and whether the country has advantages in other input costs such as energy and labour.

V. Areas with potential to deliver benefits for all stakeholders exist, but require a coordinated approach
Despite differences in perceptions and priorities, the survey and consultations revealed significant opportunities for stakeholders to work together to create mutual value, especially in the areas of procurement and supply chain, infrastructure and employment. For example, 60% of stakeholders rated leveraging infrastructure for broader use as more likely to create value than improving the direct mining infrastructure in the country.
Exhibit 12 shows that success requires high levels of coordination between stakeholders. This includes coordination between different government levels and ministries and also between mining companies and other industries such as infrastructure operators, especially in developing cluster approaches to infrastructure and supply chains. It also requires the creation of partnerships that can last beyond an election cycle. The sidebars on Corridors of Power and Chilean copper are two examples of infrastructure and local supplier development whose success depended on significant levels of coordination between stakeholders.

aspects. At the same time, both benefits and costs of mining must be taken into account. Identify areas where stakeholder priorities align and differ. This can be done by engaging in frank and constructive dialogue to find not only areas of mutual benefit but also acceptable tradeoffs between stakeholders. Invest in educating all stakeholders including companies, governments, communities and civil society about the nature, sources and timing of benefits, costs and risks of mining. Mismatches between stakeholder expectations and reality need to be addressed through a mutual understanding of the drivers of value, including country-specific structural and enabling factors. Explore ways to increase collaboration within and between stakeholder groups. Mutual value creation requires longterm partnerships that are sustainable beyond the election cycle. Collaboration is required not just between stakeholder groups but also within the groups.
Exhibit 13 lists five questions stakeholders could ask themselves in relation to these findings.
Mining Executives
1. Do you understand what drives value for other stakeholders and their current perceptions and expectations? 2. Have you entered into multistakeholder consultation in order to communicate your needs and priorities, and understand those of others? 3. Have you invested in educating local communities and regional governments in creating a better understanding of sources and timing of value from the industry? 4. Have you identified dimensions which are win-wins for all stakeholders, and had explicit discussions about tradeoffs? 5. Have you considered how you can better coordinate with partners like other mining companies in areas like infrastructure and supply?
Mining Ministers
1. Do you understand the key structural and enabling factors affecting the ability to generate value in your country? 2. Do you understand the needs and priorities of mining companies, investors and mining-affected communities? 3. Have you entered into multistakeholder consultation in order to communicate your needs and priorities, and understand those of others? 4. How well are you coordinating with other areas and levels of government to ensure that full benefits are realized from mining? 5. Have you considered how you can engage with the broader population to create a shared understanding of mining-related value?

The next step on the RMDI journey is to apply these findings and the techniques developed to address the main challenges. MVM will be used in multistakeholder platforms at a national and project level to identify, debate and take action on miningrelated issues.

Success will depend on support and ongoing commitment to action from all stakeholder groups, particularly governments. Dialogues are already being established in Chile and Peru. Chiles was set up after an RMDI round table in 2011 and is using the six building blocks developed in Phase II to guide the development of practical actions. A dialogue in Peru will take place at the World Economic Forum on Latin America in April 2013. Other countries of focus include Guinea, Mongolia and Mozambique.

Some of the structural impacts can be seen in the ways countries rank in the employment & skills and downstream & beneficiation dimensions. For example, Canada and Chile both create a relatively large amount of value from mining, but their ratings for these dimensions are relatively low. This possibly reflects the fact that their economies are diversified, with job creation outside mining, and also have fewer natural structural advantages in becoming a manufacturing base. In contrast, South Africa creates more employment from mining relative to other countries, largely because of its labour-intensive platinum industry. Other scores may be more influenced by enabling factors. For example, commodity producers ratings for the fiscal, legal and regulatory dimension in a particular country reflect their views on the tax regime as
20 Responsible Mineral Development Initiative 2013
well as the efficiency and transparency of regulatory and legal processes. Brazil ranks lower than Chile on this dimension, possibly indicating that commodity producers would like Brazil to improve in areas such as the governance, structure and complexity of public institutions. Benchmarking Methodology and Limitations Purpose The objective of the benchmarking is to provide a starting point for discussion and a way of comparing stakeholder expectations. Methodology Metrics The benchmarking is based on secondary data sources using 14 metrics which represent direct value
creation for both countries and commodity producers across the seven dimensions of value in the MVM. The metrics are all based on publicly available information and are a mix of economic data, country indices and other survey data (refer to Exhibit 17). In some cases, a weighted average of a number of metrics has been used because there are a number of drivers of value in each dimension

Countries included Only countries with a significant existing or potential mining industry were included in the benchmarking. Scoring The benchmark uses a relative score from 0 to 4. This matches the same scoring used in the perception survey. The scores were calculated by ranking the countries included in each metric. The countries with the highest rank scored 4 and the lowest 0. The remaining countries were allocated proportionately along the 0-4 scale.
Limitations A number of limitations should be considered when interpreting the benchmarking results: Data availability is limited. For some dimensions, very limited public data is available, particularly in the areas of taxes received from the mining industry, direct employment created by the industry and the size of downstream and supply industries. Some data may not be directly comparable. For the Fiscal and Employment dimensions, limited data meant it was necessary to rely on different sources for some countries, meaning they may not be directly comparable owing to different definitions and assumptions made by publishers of the data. Metrics may not reflect all aspects of a dimension. In many of the dimensions, value has many aspects and the metrics do not always take this into account. For example, the Employment & Skills dimension for countries only measures the number of employees per dollar of mining production, and excludes their salaries, working conditions, etc. Metrics only try to measure direct value. They do not include multiplier or diversification impacts.
Owing to these limitations, the benchmarking should be considered a work in progress and the Forum will continue to update it as more data becomes available. It also highlights the need for better data in the industry overall, particularly in relation to the amount of taxes, royalties and dividends paid and received. This has been recognized by many organizations including the International Monetary Fund, Revenue Watch and EITI, and work is progressing in this area.

Methodology and Respondent Details Timing The survey was conducted between October 2012 and January 2013. An online questionnaire was sent out between December and January. Paper questionnaires were completed at RMDI workshops in October and November 2012.19 Respondents Stakeholders: commodity producers (mining companies), governments and others (local communities, NGOs, academics, international agencies). The majority of respondents work in or are affected by the mining sector. Geographies: Asia, Latin America, Africa, other (North America, Australia, Europe).
Survey Content All respondents were asked: About their perceptions of value creation across the seven dimensions, in their country relative to other counties, today and in 10 years time 20 To rank the dimensions in order of priority for them. Those who completed the paper survey were asked to identify the top two only Online respondents were also asked: To identify if the largest areas for improvement in their top two priority dimensions were in the direct or multiplier/diversification areas To identify the top three structural and enabling factors for each of their top two priority dimensions

A specific limitation of the country Fiscal, legal and regulatory dimension was data on the amount of tax, royalties and dividends paid to the government by the mining industry. In many cases the data were available for 1-2 years, meaning that the amounts received may not be representative for the entire mining cycle

The paper questionnaire asked stakeholders about the six dimensions of value, with the environment and social dimensions combined. Based on consultation, these dimensions were subsequently split, resulting in seven dimensions. To include the paper survey results as part of the overall survey, the following steps were taken (i) the current and future scores were assumed to be the same between the environment and social dimensions (ii) the number of responses where the environment/social dimension was among the top-two priorities were split based on the proportion of times the two dimensions were nominated among top-two priorities in the online survey (broken down by stakeholder and region)
